Ye Chen returned to Tianwu Xianyuan City and stayed at a small inn in the south of the city.
Ye Chen was thinking about how he could earn enough spiritual stones as soon as possible within a few days so that he could leave Tianwu Xianyuan City and continue practicing.
The number of spiritual stones is not dozens, but more than a thousand. As his Qi refining period increases, the amount of spiritual stones consumed every month will only increase. Too few spiritual stones are not enough.
not enough.
"My own Immortal Mansion has functions such as a medicine garden, a weapon refining pavilion, an alchemy pavilion, a brewing pavilion, etc. However, the only thing that can quickly bring spiritual stones is the medicine garden that grows elixirs. I'm afraid the other functions will only be able to truly come into play in the future.
.”
Ye Chen planted very common low-level spiritual herbs in the Immortal Mansion. At night, he took out a few plants to sell the spiritual herbs, selling them to drug vendors who set up stalls on the street to buy scattered spiritual herbs at a price that was 20 to 30% lower than the market price.
Ye Chen is unknown in the fairy city and sells spiritual herbs in an extremely low-key manner. Although he does not attract attention, it is quite slow to exchange for spiritual stones.
Ye Chen sold for a few days and only earned more than a hundred spiritual stones, so he stopped this inefficient practice with some trouble. If this continues, it will take him at least nearly a month to earn more than a thousand spiritual stones.
"Low-level spiritual herbs are worthless, and you won't earn many spiritual stones by selling dozens of them! It's better to sell a few high-level herbs."
Ye Chen muttered to himself and began to plant more valuable elixirs in the Immortal Mansion.
However, what surprised Ye Chen was that on the night after returning to the fairy city, he actually broke through the small barrier on the second level of the Qi Refining Stage and entered the third level of the Qi Refining Stage. His soul also became stronger again.
It is about the size of three soybeans, and its spiritual consciousness has also been expanded.
Although he didn't earn much from the spiritual stones, his breakthrough in cultivation made Ye Chen feel very excited.
In the past few days, in addition to earning spiritual stones and practicing, Ye Chen was also thinking about how to make his porcupine work.
Ye Chen earned more than a hundred spiritual stones, bought a cheap book on beast control from a street stall, and learned the art of beast control. According to the vendor at the street stall, the art of beast control is a communication spell that makes the owner's intentions clear.
, can be converted into a way that the spirit beast can understand.
The porcupine cub in the Xianfu animal pen has gradually grown up and has become stronger. If he wants to let it assist him in fighting, the owner must learn the special animal control skills to communicate with it.
But Ye Chen soon discovered a new problem. He could not use his spiritual consciousness to control offensive spells such as spirit beasts and fireballs at the same time. Non-offensive spells such as wind control and stone skin were exceptions and did not require spiritual control.
As soon as he used his spiritual consciousness to communicate with the spirit beast, he instantly lost contact with the fireball and was unable to control the fireball to accurately attack the target.
He used his spiritual consciousness to control the fireball, and immediately lost communication with the spirit beast, unable to let the spirit beast understand his attack intention.
With doubts, Ye Chen hurriedly asked the street vendor selling secret books.
"Of course. The consciousness emitted by the Yuan Shen can only control one thing, either a spiritual beast or an offensive spell such as a fireball. Low-level monks generally only have one consciousness and can only do one thing.
"
The merchant said without surprise.
"Then what should I do? When I control the spirit beast to attack the enemy, I can't release spells to attack the enemy! Then why do I need this spirit beast? I might as well just use it myself?!"
Ye Chen was dumbfounded.
"This little brother, it seems that you have just cultivated immortality, so there is no need to worry. This is actually simple. You can find a method to cultivate your spiritual consciousness and increase your spiritual consciousness. However, that method of cultivating your spiritual consciousness is a bit expensive.
, we don’t sell it at this small street stall! You can go to the big merchants’ pavilion in the city and look for it, the big stores should sell it! I just don’t know if you have spiritual stones and can you afford it.”
The merchant laughed.
"Thank you!"
Ye Chen smiled sheepishly, turned and left.
In Tianwu Xianyuan City, on a main street in the city, there is a rather luxuriously decorated business pavilion, dozens of stories high, with a signboard of "Lingzhen Pavilion". At the door of the business pavilion stood several mid-level Qi Refining ministers.
With a respectful smile, greet guests entering and exiting.
Ye Chen came to Lingzhen Pavilion, took a look at the big shining golden signboard, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped into the Shang Pavilion.
In the past, he would not have dared to enter such a large merchant store. The only people standing in front of the store were monks who were in the middle stage of Qi Refining and above. You can imagine how high-end and expensive the goods in this merchant store are.
The low-level monks who are cash-strapped and shabby can only be intimidated by such a large shop. Without hundreds of spiritual stones in their pockets, they can only stare blankly when entering such a large shop.
Ye Chen is a little shy now. It is his first time to enter such a luxurious store, so he will not show any shyness in front of such a large merchant store.
The first floor of the merchant pavilion is very large, with counters on all sides displaying various elixirs, weapons and weapons, jewelry, accessories, robes, etc., with a wide range of varieties and a dazzling array. If you pick just a few, you can easily get hundreds of pieces of elixirs.
stone.
Ye Chen clicked his tongue, came to the elixir and elixir counter, and asked a middle-aged steward, "I found a elixir outside a few days ago, and I would like to ask if you are willing to accept it?"
"What elixir? This pavilion will not accept spiritual herbs that are too low-level!"
At the counter, the middle-aged steward was calculating a thick book of accounts. He glanced up at Ye Chen and saw that Ye Chen was only a third-level monk in the Qi Refining Stage. He couldn't help but look down on him and casually said: "The cultivation level is too high."
Low-level monks cannot go to the dangerous places in the Tianwu Mountains, and it is difficult to pick spiritual herbs of sufficient value. Naturally, the steward will not take it seriously.
Ye Chen took out a long jade box from the storage bag and opened it.
Inside is a plump and strong ginseng, nearly a foot long, with long, thick and complete roots, and seven green leaves. It looks very fresh, and it must have been picked not long ago.
"Seven-leaf ginseng!!"
The steward glanced at the jade box, his eyelids jumped suddenly, and he almost lost his voice. He bit the tip of his tongue and swallowed the exclamation.
This humble low-level monk actually found a very valuable spiritual herb!!
The middle-aged manager couldn't help but look at Ye Chen with admiration. After thinking about it quickly, he said with a deep smile, "This thing seems to be more than a hundred years old and worth one or two hundred spiritual stones. I wonder what price this customer wants to sell it for?"
"Forget it, I've asked other big stores on this street, and the price they're willing to pay is several times higher than yours. If your store doesn't charge it, other stores will charge it the same!"
As Ye Chen said this, he put away the jade box and planned to leave. He snorted in his heart. The manager clearly wanted to bully him for not knowing what he was doing.
You must know that if this seven-leaf ginseng was sold on a street stall in the market, it would sell for at least four to five hundred spiritual stones, or even more. However, such products rarely appear in street stalls, making it difficult to sell. Ye Chen thought of getting it.
Dashangge is easier to sell.
"Hey, brother, wait a minute, it's normal to bargain! I'll take a closer look at the quality of this seven-leaf ginseng. I might have made a mistake just now. No matter how much other stores give, our store will never give less!"
The steward hurriedly pressed down the jade box on the counter and said.
"Of course you have to bargain when selling something. But the price must be right, otherwise I won't sell it!"
Ye Chen frowned.
At this moment, outside the Shang Pavilion, a handsome young man walked in, carrying a Qingling Sword. His pink face was filled with natural arrogance, and he was born to be the center of attention. As soon as he entered the Shang Pavilion,
, immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the Shang Pavilion.
"Mr. Bai, what do you need?!"
Several recent stewards hurried up to greet me warmly.
Even the steward who originally greeted Ye Chen was now too busy greeting Mr. Bai and didn't care to greet Ye Chen.
Ye Chen looked over and was slightly surprised. He didn't know which big family he was from in Tianwu Xianyuan City!
"Get a copy of all the spiritual objects on the list. The mid-level robe I bought last time is broken and I need to replace it."
The young man in white shirt came to the counter, put a list on the counter, and said.
"Mr. Bai, I heard someone say that you haven't been in seclusion in Qingshan Lake recently. Why are you back now?"
A steward asked with a flattering smile.
"snort!"
The boy in the white shirt snorted coldly, looking unhappy, "Why are you asking so many questions?"
"Little talkative!"
When the steward saw that the young man in white had something wrong with his expression, he quickly shut up and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
"A total of six hundred spiritual stones!"
Several stewards counted the goods on the purchase order and quoted a price.
The boy in the white shirt didn't look much at it, he just paid the spirit stone, swept the things on the counter, and put them all into the storage bag.
The boy in the white shirt turned around and finally saw Ye Chen next to the counter. He saw the seven-leaf ginseng in the jade box in Ye Chen's hand. He couldn't help but was stunned and said, "Seven-leaf ginseng? Three-hundred-year-old seven-leaf ginseng."
?Where did you pick such old ginseng?"
"Can you tell me the place where I picked ginseng?"
Ye Chen said calmly.
"this!"
The young man in white shirt suddenly choked up in his voice. Senior herb collectors will know that some extremely remote places contain elixirs that are extremely difficult to pick. According to the rules of the herb collectors, of course this cannot be leaked, otherwise they will ruin their fortune.
road.
"I was presumptuous just now! My Bai family is in the medicine business. This third-level seven-leaf ginseng is very rare. How about selling it to me, the Bai family, for five hundred spiritual stones!"

ps: Sometimes I feel very troubled when writing. It’s not that the plot is difficult to write, but it’s stuck in very subtle places. A kind of elixir, how many levels, how many spiritual stones are sold. But I can’t just write casually, before and after.
It must be corresponding, otherwise the prices in the world of immortality will be chaotic.
Taking this seven-leaf ginseng as an example, is five hundred spiritual stones reasonable? Why not six hundred, not nine hundred?
I thought about it for more than ten minutes, checking the data of various spiritual herbal items to see why five hundred was unreasonable. I tried my best to choose a relatively reasonable price, which was very time-consuming.
Some readers will say, "Just write whatever you want!".
It's easy to write "Seven Hundred Spiritual Stones" and it only takes one second to type.
But in the entire book, with hundreds or thousands of items with completely different and complex settings, can they be written casually? If one is casual, everything will be messed up and there will be no sense of hierarchy. If prices are chaotic, the world will be almost chaotic.
Just setting up the various items in the book, their prices, spell power, spell types, mount speeds, effects of various items, and how many spiritual stones should be sold at each level often takes as much time as writing a book.
And I couldn’t remember so much when I was writing, so I had to go back to the previous chapters to find the accurate data records. It took many minutes to check just one data, which made me vomit blood.
